IT's a rather old show nowadays, it's thread is valid but hasn't seen a post since Christmass, and started with the posts about 3 years ago.

But it's both a great show and a wasteful show. Using a body swapping premise to teach people about others is just fine, but don't you pretend that being someone in their house isn't a big deal! It's like they could only grow and change while in school as opposed to outside of it.

But....I also saw the show before the OVA's were out, and never got to see them. I need to get on that.

Kokoro Connect has some interesting concepts to it and addresses many different hypothetical situations; for instance, "What is it like to be in another person's shoes?" and trust/friendship issues.

I feel the characters have some really awkward conversations sometimes, like the part where Iori talked to Taichi about how she's scared that she people will not know who the real "Iori" is; it sounded like she has a complex psychological issue and somehow, a 14 year old boy was able to understand her... and comfort her... I felt that this was out of place... Taichi should have reacted more confused or a little bored towards her retrospective speech.

Kokoro Connect is fantastic! It has its flaws like any other show, and the OVAs aren't on crunchy unfortunately, since they really wrap up the story succinctly. But, I would argue it's one of the better SOL shows out there, glad you're enjoying it

I'm a year or two behind on my shows, so I'm sort of halfway in the middle arc, where not much is starting to happen again, but it's a good show--
Even they admit the body-switching trope is "something out of a (corny) manga series", so it's nice to see it reduced to just another teen hangup and treated as a straightforward school slice-of-life, compared to, say, Yamada & the Seven Witches.
(And they didn't fall down a flight of stairs to cause it....Seriously, where does that come from, anyway? )
